Craving pickle juice



Recommended Posts

I craved pickles so bad after I was sleeved. You can have it, just high in sodium so do so in moderation. It helped with my reflux. I still eat pickles almost every day and I’m 6 months post-op

It's crazy how bad I want pickles right now! If i didn't know better I'd think I was pregnant lol! Definitely no chance of that!

Still on the presurg side of things , when I gave up evil sweets and nasty soda, which realized is truly for the best, do you know what I want? Veggies, have To be cooked because you can't chomp raw ones real great with dentures, but I love steamed broccoli, brussel sprouts, carrots, peas and little pearl onions. Hold a baked or nuked sweet potato in front of my face and I'll follow you anywhere.🍝

In medium doses it's a laxative, so be careful! Have plenty of Water and stay hydrated. Athletes swear by it for cramps and dehydration..

Your electrolytes are probably off. Are you drinking plenty of broth with sodium? Taking your Vitamins?

As you lose Water weight you flush electrolytes from your body. Also due to the low consumption of food, sodium and potassium intake is way down. The electrolytes should be replaced or you'll start to feel sick. broth is helpful in replacing electrolytes. You can also add lite salt which has potassium and sodium in it to your diet. Vitamins usually are pretty low in electrolytes due to the assumption you'll get enough sodium from your diet and the potential of possible overdosing on potassium. Drinking Pickle Juice is helpful. But the broth will add some Protein in. Hopefully your Multivitamin has the needed magnesium.

You should also be having at least one electrolyte beverage a day. Makes a huge difference for me.

I think we all went through that phase...I did drink a little juice every now and then just to satisfy the craving but remember it is high in sodium. But its no harm to have a sip🤗🤗🥒🥒🥒

You could have low sodium.

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
